Letter to the editor: Many questions await Grassley answers

Sen. Chuck Grassley

Now that the facts are known about the citizenship status of the Boston Marathon bombers, I hope that the editors of the Register will follow up with Sen. Grassley and have him explain exactly how he proposes to change our immigration laws based on this incident.

Will he ban anyone over the age of 8 from coming to this country? Will he suggest that we outlaw the adoption of children from Russia, the home country of the terrorists?

Or perhaps he will only propose banning people with a Muslim heritage? Will he be really bold and ban Canadians from coming to this country because of potential long-held grudges from the French-American War? Or perhaps he thinks I should be deported because my grandparents came here from Russia.

Seriously, the Register owes it to the citizens of Iowa to find out how he thinks the unfortunate events in Boston should impact the proposed immigration bill. Please don't let him get away with making silly statements based not on fact but on his mistaken impressions of the situation.
